Highland Fling Anyone ?

[Dreggsy]

In that case I'll carry you across Dr Eggs.

Awesome,
now what gearing to run?
32-16
32-18
or
32-13

 

[jmcavoy]

Yikes... some fast guys in the 100miler.

Van Terminator, Fenner, Crawford Moules, Wade Carberry has been riding pretty quick lately, Pdogg, Jason, Jason, Shane Taylor will be back from his Croc trophy so will be either trashed or smashing it...

...and that's just the names I recognise off the bat!

Cheers

And I note True Swain got an entry into the mile last week too, dammit

I thought 34:18 was the One True Gear(tm)?

I'll be running 32x16 but I only have to ride the forest once...

 

[tjb]

34:16 .... last thing you want is to be too spun out when driving it home on Dennis' wheel in the 10 km ;-)

 

[davzab]

Damn I should be there!

 

[Tee Man]

Damn I should be there!

Should just come down anyway for shites and giggles.

 

[Dreggsy]

34:16 .... last thing you want is to be too spun out when driving it home on Dennis' wheel in the 10 km ;-)

I thought I would be towing him along.

What do we run?

 

[Dreggsy]

I think I might stick with the 32:16 as it will make the climbing just that little more bearable,
but then again there are a bit of fire road flattish parts as well.


arrggghh undecided.
which ratio did liamO use last year.

 

[tjb]

What do we run?

FLUFF it is too funny you just ride the gear you're given .... 38:18 I think you have on.

 

[Shrekmeister]

you should ride the bike you rode down Flora street yesteray morning at 7am with the same fluro jacket and shoes.......

 

[FLUFF]

That should be good for the fling?

 

[tjb]

The jacket is red, and the shoes a bit too bright a yellow, but at least I'm seen. The bike is SS, not sure how the back pedal brake would go in the dirt. The suspension on the seat is very plush too. If it is muddy the mudguards would be great too.

But no ....

 

[tjb]

You'll be right big fella! You did the Doctor on that gear Fling should be fine .... maybe you want a 17 ;-)

 

[alchemist]

Want me to bring one down? Maybe a 16.

 

[liamo]

arrggghh undecided.

32:18 on a 29er. I'd happily use that gear again.

34:18 was the one true gear for me on the Cove. Now that I'm riding silly wheels, 32:19 seems to be the one for me and Sydney riding.
